Viera and Hrothgar clans detailed on official site

[Penthea]

I hope it's not going to be only just straight palette changes for the differences between the sub races. If they're only going to give us one gender of each, they could at least make the sub-races be noticeably distinct.

hailing from the distance shores of Ilsabard, the Hrothgar are a burly people of lionlike appearance-or the males are at least. Females number staggeringly few among their population, and thus are rarely so much as glimpsed by the other races

I guess the women stay home and be pregnant?

From what I remember from the reveal demo, depending on what Head model you pick you also get a particular fur pattern on the Hrothgar's right shoulder. (ruddy tones for the Lionen head, stripes for the tiger head, spots for the leopard head, and ruffage for the lupine head.)

So it's not unlike au ra and their horns then. Maybe they'll give different patterns to the different subraces. Hopefully.

Technically but not exactly, the Horns on Au Ra are entirely cosmetic, If there was an option to not have them then most probably would pick that since they get in all of the ways. but the patterns on the Hrothgar are directly linked to the Heads from what I can understand from the Reveal, it's possible the heads are restricted by clan, like the Lion and Tiger heads are Helions and the leopard and Lupine heads are Lost, or all four are available to both clans.

Noone knows till they;re releases properly or the keynote i may says anything.

This is not true. Au Ra horns are how they hear, they are essentially "ears" for the Au Ra. If you had a hornless Au Ra, they would most likely be a form of deaf. It isn't just purely cosmetic for them.

Actually au ra horns act as their ears. They hear sound from vibrations in their horns.

Don’t count on it - the whole point of the split races was so they only had to make two gender-of-race models instead of four. Making physically different clan models would defeat the purpose of the split.

Anyway, the clans are shown on the website, and they’re palette swaps.
